Or, How to wake a poor Farm Jlich, without .,!,.. much money expended, . , TUB ACCUMULATION OF JIANT'RE. If writers on agriculture would devise and laj down more feasible plan of operation, there would be rather more chance for their work to be beneficial to farmers. They direct us to put on manure bjr the ton, conl or load, as the case may be ; to put it on in the spring, in the summer and the fall ; to top-fi eM, and under-dress, and to always be ready to put on manure when the ground is plowed or to be plowed. Now, all this is very fine in theory, but practical farmers know very well that manure does not fall from the clouds like snow or rain ; nor is it to be dug out of the earth in quantity and quality sufficient. f Manure is composed mainly of vegetable and animal matter, that can only be pro cured in limited quantites. A large majori ty of farmers have land to work that is mostly below the middling quality, and have rent or interest to pay every year, besides maintaining their families and stock, and ought to be improving the last at the same time. If our instructors would put us in a way to accomplish this, their works would be much more valuable. The thing has been dune, and can be done again. As to buying manure, except lime and plaster, for the" use of farmers, generally, except those living near some town or village, it is out of the question, as at present prices it will not bear its weight to be carted more than six or seven miles. , It can be made on the farm with a small outlay of money, but it requires labor and perseering attention. When the yard is cleaned out to put on the wheat ground, spread a thin coating of straw over it, then haul in dirt, good mellow dirt, if to be had, but if not, get the best you can, and rover the yard four or five inches thick. Trim An ust, and rart all the voung bushes and briars into the bartirard, as well as weeds end other vegetable matter, leaves, &c. that can be gathered up on the farm. j " she won't have much in the will; she is When the pasture fails in the fall, put the 1 sister to the deceased." cattle in the barn vard and there keep them J What, that Anne who wedded in 1812 till the pasture is flit to turn on again in the ! a man of nothing an officer r" spring.

These heaps should lay till about the middle of August, when it will be in a better state for the production of a crop of wheat, than ever it was before or will j be strain.

I hive lived long enough to be rarely mistaken, And bore my full (hare of life'a changeable scenre, Bui my woes have been solaced by good greens and bacon, ,; And my joys have been doubled by bacon and greens. What a tliriD of remembrance e'en now they awaken. Of ch:,dhood'a gay morning and youth's merry - scenes, . When one day we had greens and a plateful of bacon, And the next we bad bacon and a plateful of greens. Ah! well I remember when sad and forsaken, Heart-wrung by the scorn of a miss in her teens, How. I rusli'd from her sight to my loved greens and bacon, And forgot my despair over bacon and greens. When Ilia banks refused specie and credit was shaken, I shared in the wreck and waa ruio'd in means ; My friends alt declared I bad not "saved my bacon," But ! lived for I still had my bacon and greens. 0! there 'a a charm in tins dish, rightly taken, That from custards and jelliea an epicure weans; 8tick your fork in the fat wrap jour greens round the bacou, And you'll vow there ia nothing like bacon and ,,t. h ' greens, v, If some fairy a grant of three wishes would make one 60 worthless as I, and so laden with sins, I'd wish all the greens in the world then the bscon And then with for a little more bacon and greens. POSTSCKIPT. I return to confess that for onre I'm ini.taken, As much aa I've known of tbe world and its scenes. There's one thing that's equal to both greens snd bacon, And lli.it ia a dish of good bacon and greens. A FRENClf WILL STORY . Is she dead, then r" -" Yes, madam," replied a little gentleman in brown coat and short breeches. " And her will?" " Is going to be opened immediately here bv Iter solicitor." " Shall we inherit anvthing r" I admirably ; all the more so that it is ready It must be supposed so ; we have some furnished. A to the jewels of Sister F.ge "Who is that miaerablv-dresscd personage! never to part with. , who intrudes herself here r" " Since it is so, said the notary, " m v " O, she " said the little man, sneering I poor Madame Anne, here is the prayer-Look "The more so, as sister Egerie, of noble birth, had never lorgtven her mat tneai- . ,a a lianct." Anne moved at this time across the room in which the family of the deceased was as sembled. She was pale ; her fine eyes were filled with tears, and her face was "furrowed by care with precious wrinkles. " What do vou come here for ?" said, with great haughtiness, Madame de Yillebovs, the lady who, a moment before, had been interrogating the little man who inherited with her. "Madam," the poor ladv replied, with humility, " I do not come here to claim a part of what does not belong to me ; 1 come solely to see M. Dubois, my poor sister s house you, w no wenueu a man 01 Doming, a soldier of Bonaparte's f" " Madam, my husband, although a child of the people, was a brave soldier, and what is better, an honest man." observed Anne. At this moment a venerable personage, the notary Dubois, made his appearance. Cease," he said, " to reproach Anne with a onion which her sister has forgiven Iter. Antte loved a eenerous, brave and jrood man, who had no other crime to renroach himself ith than his poverty and the obscurity of is name. Nevertheless, had he lived, if his family had known him as I knew him, I, his old friend, Anne w ould be at this time happv and respected." " But why is this woman here?" Because it is her place to be here," said the notary, gravely j " I, myself, requested her 10 attend here 1" I M. Dubois then proceeded to open the will: - 1 .1 ir tlinusind francs. In the convent where I have been residing there will only be found my bouk, " Heures de la Vierge' a holy volume, which remains as it was when I took it with me at the time of the emigration. 1 desire that these three objects be divided into three lots. The first lot, the two hundred thousand francs in money. . The second lot, the chateau, furniture and j jewels. ' The third lot, mv book, " Hcurcs de la Vierge." " , I have pardoned my lister Anne the grief which she has caused to us, and I would have comforted her in her sorrows if 1 had known sooner of her return to France. I comprise her in my will. Madame de Yilleboys, my much-beloved cousin, shall have the first choice. M. Vatry, my brother-in-law, shall have the second choice. Anne will take the remaining lot." Ah, ah !" said Vatry, " fcister Egerie was a good one ; that is rather clever on Iter part!" " Anne will only have the Prayer-book !" exclaimed Madame de Yilleboys, laughing aloud. The notary interrupted her-jocularity. "Madame," he said, " which lot do you choose r" " The two hundred thousand francs in money." '. " Have you quite made up your mind r" " Perfectly so.", The man of law, addressing himself then to the good feeling of the lady, said, " Ma dame, you art rich, and Anne has nothing. Could you not leave her this lot, and take the book of prayers, which the eccentricity of the deceased has placed on a par with the other lots." " You must be joking, M. Dubois !" ex claimed Madame tie Villcboys; "you must really be very dull not to see the intention of sister Egeric in all this. Our honored cousin foresaw full well that her book of prayers would fall to the lot of Anne, who had the last choice." "And what do you conclude from that?" inquired the notary. "I conclude that she meant to intimate to her sister that repentance and prayer were the onlv help that she had to expect in this world." As she finished these words, Madame de Yilleboys made & definite selection of the ready money for her share. Monsieur Va try, as may be easily imagined, selected the chateau, furniture and jewels, as his lot. " Monsieur Vatry," says M. Rttbois to thut gentleman, " even suppose it had been the intention of the deceased to punish her sis ter, it would be noble on your part, million aire as you are, to give up at least a portion ot your share to Anne, vlio wants it so much." " Thanks for your kind advice, dear sir," replied Yatrv : ' the mansion is situated on I the very confines of my w oods, and suits me th at remains to you Anne, attended by her son, a handsome boy with blue eyes, took her sister's old Prayer-book, and making her son kiss it after her, said: " Hector, kiss this book which belonged to your poor aunt, who is dead, but who would have loved you well had she known you. When vou have learned to read, you will prar to Heaven to make vou wise and good as your father was, and happier than vour unfortunate mother." The eyes of those who were present were filled with tears, notwithstanding their ef forts to preserve an appearance of indiffer ence. The child embraced the old book with boyish fervor, and opening it afterward " O ! mamma," he said, what pretty pic tures.' ' Indeed !" said the mother, happy in the gladness of her boy. Yes. The gmtl Virgin, in a red dress, holding the infant Jesus in her arm. But why, mamma, has silk paper been put upon the pictures i" " So that they might not be injured, my dear." But, mamma, why are there ten silk nnners to each cntrravine r" The mother looked, and uttering a sudden shriek, she fell into the arms nf M. Dubois, the notary, who, addressing those present, said t " Leave her alone, it won't be much ; peo ple don't die of these shocks. As for you, little one," addressing Hector, "give me that prayer-bouk ; you will tear the engrav ings." The inheritors withdrew, making various rnnierture at tn the cause of Anne's sudden j illness, and the interest w hich the notary took in her. A month afterwards they met ... . . t . 1 ., . Anne and her son, exceedingly well, yet not extravagantly dressed, taking an airing in a two-horse chariot. This led them to make inquiries, and they ascertained that Matlame j Anna ,-in!v mil-. Weil a l.nti'1 fur one' hundred and eighty thousand francs, and that she was giving a first-rate education to her son. The news came like a thunderbolt nnnn ihem. Mjdatne de Yilleboys aui M. de Vatry hastened to call upon the notji y to a- ' 1 - . !!.. I n..l. ak for explanations, The good Dubois was working at his uesK. Perhaps we ate disturbing you r" said the arrogant old lady. " No matter. I was in the act of tiling a purchase in the State funds for Madame Anne." What!" exclaimed Valry, " after pur ehasin house and ctiuinages, site lias still still money to invest i" Undoubted! van." But where ilid the money come from?'' What ! did you not see ?" "When?" When she shrieked upon seeing what the prayer-book contained which she inher ited." Wa iiWrved nothinz." Oh I I thought that you saw it," said the sarcastic notary. " The prayer-book con- tamed sixty engravings, and each engraving was covered by ten notes of a thousand francs each. " Good Heavens !" exclaimed Vatrr. tlmn. derstruck. " If 1 had only known f" shouted Mad de Villebova. " You had the choice," added the notary, and I myself ursred vou to take ihi book, but ou refused"." "Hut who could have exDected to Grid a fortune in a breviary." The two baffled old egotists withdrew, their hearts swollen with passionate envy. Madame Anne is still in Paris. If you pass by the Rue Lafitte on a finesumtner even ing, you will see a charming picture on the first floor, illuminated bv the imlc reflerl'inn of a wax light. A lady who has joined the two hands of her son, a fair child of six years of age, in prayer before an old book of" Heures de la " Vierge," and for which a case in gold has been made. " Pray for me, child," said the mother. " And for who else," inquired the child. " For your father, your dear father, who perished without knowing you, without be ing able to love you." " Must I pray'to the saint, my patron?" " Yes, niy little friend 5 but do not forget a saint Who watches US Irotn heaven, anil who smiles upon us from above the clouds." " What is the name of that saint, mamma dear The mother, then watering the fair child's head with her tears, answered s " Her name is Sister Egerie." From an English Paper. OX'ONNELL AND THE IRISH BANK CRISIS. A correspondent, who has written foe us the following sketch, says, " It may be useful knowledge for some establishments in the present monetary conjuncture." He further adds, the rme was one of O'Connell's best hits, and of which he was very fond of. boasting : A run was being made for gold by the peasantry of the surrounding counties ; and crowds of clamorous frieze coats might be seen pushing and fighting at the doors of all the banks iu L . The Hank, how ever, which has since proved itself to be as solvent as any establishment in Ireland, enjoyea at that tune the best conhdence, and was, of course, the more set upon. I had s few one pound notes, and though I believed they were very good, if people would only have faith in them, still, as 1 tearcd the panic it.elf might bring about the catastrophe it ... ... where, I thought it would only be prudent in me to save mvself ; so I mouutcd my nag and trotted with my bundle of notes into On arriving at the bank door, the Pabel of mixed Irish and English was terrific. Men and men, and men and women tugged and struggled together for precedence, and 1 hear the exclamation, "There, you have torn tlm coat off my back, making as much fussabout your dirty thirty shilling note as if it were a pact of ten-pounders you had." " Oh me, oh me," shrieked a woman in a certain cou Ulition, who affected to faint, in the vain hope that they would let her nearer the door. " As vou are satisfied, now that vou have murder ed the unborn babe, and me, its poor mother, just let me pass, for the love of St. Patrick: it's only a one pound note I have, and they won't be "a jiffey serving me." " Arrah, ye II be serve;!, cried out a tlroil ; fellow on the verge of the crowd ; " here's the I hancelior coming, and a bag of gould on hit back." All looked in the direction the last speaker pointed to, and there, sure enough, I could see approaching the burly figure ol O'Conitell, who was one of the directors of the bank, and had jutt arrived from Dublin, lie hail not ctactlv a lug on his back, but he carried a parcel in his hand. Let me pais, my good friends," said he, " and you shall be served." And he pushed shoulder foremnit through the crowd, whci made way for him, and give three hearty cheers fur " the Chancellor" as he passed. " The Liberator, as he was called, might have been twenty minutes in the bank, when a hurrah was raised from thoe who stood nearest the bank door. " Didn't I tell you." cried a fellow, crushing his way out," and blowing with his breath to cool five hot sove reigns which he had hel l with tliRicuItv 111 i his hand : " Didn't I tell vou the Chancellor i II 1 . !. i efl .1. ... . . ! a I 1 would leuie itr a fieri" mey are at it naru and fast as tallow chandlers tin a melting day, making sovereigns like witiky, and they are shoveling them out upon the counter as hot as broiled praties lro;n a pot," and he blev again upon the sotrrfigns. ami he held them t,n airain to hi touched. Seeing and feelin? was believing, and there, sure enough, was i gold, w arm. a if from the crucible, j "Glorv to you Dan," shouted out the crowd, whotiow really believed that tVChan- celior was making sovereigns in the back ...t In mul id. nin ... f parlor to meet the run. What's the use of crushing vou can't break a bank when they are melting out money like that. ' My urioity was at its height, so, with one tremendous effort, I gained adm;sioo, and there, sure enough, were the clerk lad ling out h it sovereigns from copper scoops to the peoyle, who, crowdini to the counter. land who, snapping and blowing their finger were picking up the coins as you might pick up mast chestnuts. They say the ruse was hot a new one, and that O'Connell only revived it in the rase of the Bank t but it was not the less me ritorious on that account.
